More Summaries.

Floor Show:

The family goes out to dinner with the Fannings, who wanted to treat them to a little luxury. Dr.Fanning had helped them escape their homeland and was helping Carlos get a job. At the restaurant, Mrs.Fanning becomes drunk, kisses Carlos, and dances with the performers on stage. Sandra ignored her mother's warning about not asking for extra treats because she believed that Mrs.Fanning owed her and asked for the doll. Mrs.Fanning insisted to Carlos that her husband would pay for the dolls.

The Blood of the Conquistadores:

The secret police comes to question Carlos, but he hides in a secret room in the bedroom closet. Victor Hubbard, who worked for the CIA, arrives and Laura realizes that they will have to leave the Island soon. When Sandi had to pick one toy to take to the U.S, she realizes that no toy would fill the emptiness opening inside her. Sofia doesn't remember the last day on the Island because she was the youngest. But her sisters would always tell her that she almost got their father killed because she was mean to one of the secret police that came looking for him.

The Human Body:

Yolanda's grandmother returns from New York City with Aunt Mimi. Aunt Mimi brought them a toy called "The Human Body" which is a doll with removable body parts. Mimi also gave Yolanda's cousin, Mundin, a packet of pink modeling clay. Mundin offered to trade the clay with Yolanda if she would show him she was a girl. Yolanda and Fifi took off their clothes in the shed, but Mundin was disappointed that they looked like dolls. They were found in the shed by Tia Carmen and the garderner and Yolanda lied to them that they were hiding from the secret police.

  1. I think that it's nice what the Fannings are doing for the Garcia's, but I think that they shouldn't take advantage of it like how Sandra did.

  2. In the chapter The Blood Conquistadors, it really surprised me that their father was almost going to get killed because Sofia was mean to the secret police that came looking for him. Thank god he didn't die though. Imagine living your life knowing the fact that YOU were the reason one of your loved ones died? That would be so horrible.
